Ways to Practice Prayer with Your Whole Body

Ways to Practice Prayer with Your Whole Body A study from Harvard University found the average person’s mind wanders about 47% of the time… so often, when we’re completing one task, our brain is off thinking about something else. People tend to struggle with distraction, especially when doing a more “internal” task like prayer. You find yourself talking to God one minute, and the next, you’ve finished your meal plan for the week… what?! Adding a physical component to your prayer practice can not only keep you more grounded and focused on the conversation with God, but many elements of an embodied prayer life have existed for centuries in Christianity, with even older practices being found in Old Testament prayer.
